Armenian lawmaker Mushegh Petoyan elected at the 36th electoral district from the Prosperous Armenia Party beat a policeman. Hraparak newspaper reports, citing its own sources, that Mushegh Petoyan's brother Karen Petoyan (aka Kol) and his friend beat a policeman near the market square in Artik. The incident happened in April 2015, late at night. Afterwards Karen Petoyan and his friend left the country. MP Mushegh Petoyan refuted this information. "This is ruled out. He is a grown-up man. What scuffle are you talking about?" he said.
The MP noted that there was only a verbal duel, which was safely resolved. However, the lawmaker did not specify with whom the verbal duel was. The police also refuted the information. "There has been no incident involving those names," the Police said.
